Description

太陽能電池、太陽能電池模組及太陽能電池之製作方法 Solar cell, solar cell module and solar cell manufacturing method

本發明係關於異質接面(heterojunction)太陽能電池之領域,特別是關於具有背接觸電極之異質接面太陽能電池、太陽能模組及其製作方法。 The present invention relates to the field of heterojunction solar cells, and more particularly to a heterojunction solar cell having a back contact electrode, a solar module, and a method of fabricating the same.

隨著消耗性能源日益枯竭,太陽能等替代能源的開發已成為世界各國重要之發展方向,其中,業界大多致力於開發具有高轉換效率(conversion efficiency)和低製作成本的太陽能電池。 With the depletion of consumable energy, the development of alternative energy sources such as solar energy has become an important development direction in the world. Most of the industry is committed to developing solar cells with high conversion efficiency and low production cost.

在眾多的高效能太陽能電池中,尤其以背接觸式異質接面(heterojunction back contact,HBC)矽太陽能電池受到重視。一般而言,背接觸式異質接面矽太陽能電池的結構至少會包括N型結晶矽基板、本質(intrinsic)非晶矽層、P型非晶矽層、N型非晶矽層以及電極層。具體來說,本質非晶矽層會被分別設置於N型結晶矽基板的正面和背面上,而P型非晶矽層、N非晶矽層以及電極層則均會被設置於N型結晶矽基板的背面。由於結晶矽和非晶矽層間的界面為異質接面,且不透光之電極層僅被設置於太陽能電池的背面,因此背接觸式異質接面矽太陽能電池可以提供較大的短路電流(Isc),進而提升整體電池輸出功率。 Among the many high-performance solar cells, especially the back-contact heterojunction back contact (HBC), solar cells are valued. In general, the structure of the back contact heterojunction tantalum solar cell includes at least an N-type crystalline germanium substrate, an intrinsic amorphous germanium layer, a P-type amorphous germanium layer, an N-type amorphous germanium layer, and an electrode layer. Specifically, the intrinsic amorphous germanium layer is respectively disposed on the front and back surfaces of the N-type crystalline germanium substrate, and the P-type amorphous germanium layer, the N amorphous germanium layer, and the electrode layer are all disposed on the N-type crystal.背面 The back side of the substrate. Since the interface between the crystalline germanium and the amorphous germanium layer is a heterojunction, and the opaque electrode layer is only disposed on the back side of the solar cell, the back contact type heterojunction solar cell can provide a large short-circuit current (Isc). ), thereby increasing the overall battery output.

然而,上述背接觸式異質接面矽太陽能電池仍存有改進之空間。舉例而言,設置於結晶矽基板背面的本質非晶矽層一般為連續層,致使在結 晶矽基板內產生之載子容易在本質非晶矽層內產生復合(recombination),而降低了太陽能電池的開路電壓。此外,即便結晶矽基板內存有內建電場(built-in field),基板內的少數載子仍無法有效地在其生命期(lifetime)內漂移至相應的電極,致使增加了電子電洞對復合機率,並導致了開路電壓之降低。 However, there is still room for improvement in the above-mentioned back contact type heterojunction solar cells. For example, the intrinsic amorphous germanium layer disposed on the back side of the crystalline germanium substrate is generally a continuous layer, resulting in a junction. The carriers generated in the wafer substrate are susceptible to recombination in the intrinsic amorphous germanium layer, and the open circuit voltage of the solar cell is lowered. In addition, even if there is a built-in field in the crystallization substrate, the minority carriers in the substrate cannot effectively drift to the corresponding electrode during their lifetime, resulting in an increase in electron hole pairing. Probability and lead to a reduction in open circuit voltage.

有鑑於此,有必要提供一種背接觸式異質接面太陽能電池,以解決存在於習知技術中之缺陷。 In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a back contact type heterojunction solar cell to solve the drawbacks existing in the prior art.

本發明之另一目的在於提供一種太陽能電池模組,其包括改良的太陽能電池,以解決存在於習知技術中之缺陷。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell module including an improved solar cell to address the deficiencies found in the prior art.

It is to be noted that the scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims, and is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein. Therefore, changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described below without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In addition, the same or similar components or devices are denoted by the same reference numerals, and some of the conventional structures and process details will not be disclosed below. It should be noted that the drawings are for illustrative purposes and are not drawn exactly according to the original dimensions.

請參照第1圖和第2圖,其分別繪示了本發明實施例之太陽能電池俯視圖和剖面圖,其中第2圖係沿著第1圖切線A-A’所繪示。如第1圖和第2圖所示,太陽能電池100至少包括基板102、第一本質(intrinsic)非晶半導體層120a、第二本質非晶半導體層120b以及氮化矽層122。其中,基板102具有第一導電型,較佳係為N型,其具有相對設置之第一表面104和第二表面106。第一本質非晶半導體層120a和第二本質非晶半導體層120b均設置於第二表面106上,兩者彼此分離,且較佳呈現如第1圖所示之指叉狀(interdigitated)佈局。氮化矽層122,組成主體較佳是非晶氮化矽(amorphous silicon nitride,a-SiN),係設置於第一本質非晶半導體層120a與第二本質非晶半導體層120b間,並直接接觸第二表面106。 Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, respectively, a top view and a cross-sectional view of a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown, wherein FIG. 2 is depicted along a line A-A' of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the solar cell 100 includes at least a substrate 102, an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a, a second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b, and a tantalum nitride layer 122. The substrate 102 has a first conductivity type, preferably an N type, and has a first surface 104 and a second surface 106 disposed opposite each other. The first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a and the second intrinsically amorphous semiconductor layer 120b are both disposed on the second surface 106, separated from each other, and preferably exhibit an interdigitated layout as shown in FIG. The tantalum nitride layer 122 is preferably an amorphous silicon nitride (a-SiN) disposed between the first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a and the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b and is in direct contact with each other. Second surface 106.

具體來說,上述基板102係為結晶半導體基板,例如是多晶矽基板或是III-V族化合物基板,較佳係為單晶矽基板。第一表面104係為接受太陽光之主要受光面。第一本質非晶半導體層120a和第二本質非晶半導體層120b之主體可以是本質半導體,較佳係為本質非晶矽(intrinsic amorphous silicon),其係用以修補存在於第二表面106上之缺陷。 Specifically, the substrate 102 is a crystalline semiconductor substrate, for example, a polycrystalline germanium substrate or a III-V compound substrate, and is preferably a single crystal germanium substrate. The first surface 104 is the primary light receiving surface that receives sunlight. The main body of the first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a and the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b may be an intrinsic semiconductor, preferably an intrinsic amorphous silicon, which is used to repair the presence on the second surface 106. Defects.

本發明之一特徵在於第一本質非晶半導體層120a和第二本質非 晶半導體層120b係互相分離。藉由此特徵,一旦不同電性之載子分別漂移至相應之第一本質非晶半導體層120a或第二本質非晶半導體層120b時,便不會再次復合,因而可以提高太陽能電池100之開路電壓。此外,本發明之另一特徵在於非晶氮化矽層122會鈍化部份第二表面106,致使非晶氮化矽層122和第二表面106間之界面126,或是鄰近界面126之基板102內或非晶氮化矽層122內,會有正電荷累積區127。由於正電荷累積區127內之電荷電性與N型基板102內少數載子(minority carriers),亦即電洞,的電性相同,因此其不僅可以排斥往第二表面106漂移之電洞,以防止電洞被第二表面106上之缺陷(defects)捕捉,其也可以同時降低電洞在N型基板102內的停留時間,進而提高了太陽能電池100之開路電壓。 One of the features of the present invention resides in the first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a and the second essential non- The crystalline semiconductor layers 120b are separated from each other. By virtue of this feature, once the carriers of different electrical properties are respectively drifted to the corresponding first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a or the second intrinsically amorphous semiconductor layer 120b, the recombination is not performed again, and thus the open circuit of the solar cell 100 can be improved. Voltage. In addition, another feature of the present invention is that the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 will passivate a portion of the second surface 106, resulting in an interface 126 between the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 and the second surface 106, or a substrate adjacent to the interface 126. Within the 102 or amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122, there is a positive charge accumulation region 127. Since the charge electrical property in the positive charge accumulation region 127 is the same as that of the minority carriers in the N-type substrate 102, that is, the holes, it can not only repel the holes that drift toward the second surface 106, In order to prevent the holes from being caught by the defects on the second surface 106, it is also possible to simultaneously reduce the residence time of the holes in the N-type substrate 102, thereby increasing the open circuit voltage of the solar cell 100.

上述之太陽能電池100另可包括其他元件。仍參考第2圖,舉例來說,第一本質非晶半導體層120a上可選擇性地依序堆疊有第一非晶半導體層108、透明導電層112以及第一電極114。第二本質非晶半導體層120b上可選擇性地依序堆疊有第二非晶半導體層110、透明導電層112以及第二電極116。在此狀況下,非晶氮化矽層122可以被設置於第一非晶半導體層108和第二非晶半導體層110間,且非晶氮化矽層122之頂面較佳與透明導電層112切齊,但不限於此。此外,在基板102的第一表面104上可選擇性地依序堆疊有本質非晶半導體層118和抗反射層124。 The solar cell 100 described above may further include other components. Still referring to FIG. 2, for example, the first amorphous semiconductor layer 120a may be selectively sequentially stacked with the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108, the transparent conductive layer 112, and the first electrode 114. The second amorphous semiconductor layer 110, the transparent conductive layer 112, and the second electrode 116 are selectively stacked on the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b. In this case, the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 may be disposed between the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108 and the second amorphous semiconductor layer 110, and the top surface of the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 is preferably a transparent conductive layer. 112 is closed, but not limited to this. Further, an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 118 and an anti-reflective layer 124 are selectively stacked on the first surface 104 of the substrate 102 in sequence.

具體來說,第一非晶半導體層108和第二非晶半導體層110之組成主體均可以是非晶半導體,較佳是非晶矽,且兩者具有相異之導電型,例如分別具有第一導電型,例如N型,和第二導電型,例如P型,但不限於此。較佳來說,本實施例之第一非晶半導體層108和基板102具有相同之導電型,例如N型。第一電極114和第二電極116可以是導電性較佳之金屬電極,例如鋁電極或銀電極,且彼此電性分離,以將對應之載子輸出至外部負載。此 外,透明導電層112可以選自透明導電氧化物(transparent conductive oxide,TCO)或是其他合適的導電無機物,以進一步降低串聯電阻。類似地,針對第一表面104上的本質非晶半導體層118,其主體亦可以是本質非晶半導體,較佳是非晶矽,其係用以鈍化第一表面104,以避免載子在第一表面104復合。抗反射層124可降低第一表面104的光反射率,其成份組成較佳與非晶氮化矽層相同,例如是非晶氮化矽,但不限定於此。 Specifically, the constituent bodies of the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108 and the second amorphous semiconductor layer 110 may each be an amorphous semiconductor, preferably an amorphous germanium, and the two have different conductive types, for example, respectively having a first conductive Type, for example, N type, and second conductivity type, such as P type, but are not limited thereto. Preferably, the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108 and the substrate 102 of the present embodiment have the same conductivity type, for example, an N type. The first electrode 114 and the second electrode 116 may be metal electrodes of better conductivity, such as aluminum electrodes or silver electrodes, and are electrically separated from each other to output the corresponding carriers to an external load. this In addition, the transparent conductive layer 112 may be selected from a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) or other suitable conductive inorganic substance to further reduce the series resistance. Similarly, for the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 118 on the first surface 104, the body may also be an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor, preferably an amorphous germanium, which is used to passivate the first surface 104 to prevent the carrier from being first. Surface 104 is composite. The anti-reflection layer 124 can reduce the light reflectance of the first surface 104, and its composition is preferably the same as that of the amorphous tantalum nitride layer, for example, amorphous tantalum nitride, but is not limited thereto.

本發明的太陽能電池除了上述實施例外,另可包括其他變化型。於下文中,將加以描述這些變化型。需注意的是,由於下述變化型之結構大致類似於上述之實施例,因此以下僅就主要差異處加以描述,且相類似的元件與結構可以搭配參照。 The solar cell of the present invention may include other variations in addition to the above-described embodiments. These variations will be described below. It is to be noted that since the structure of the following modifications is substantially similar to the above-described embodiments, the following description will be made only with respect to the main differences, and similar elements and structures may be referred to with reference.

第3圖是根據本發明另一實施例對應於第1圖A-A’切線所繪示之太陽能電池剖面圖。如第3圖所示,第3圖之實施例與上述第1圖之實施例主要差異在於,本實施例之非晶氮化矽層122係順應地覆蓋住未被第一本質非晶半導體層120a和第二本質非晶半導體層120b遮住的第二表面106,以及本質非晶半導體層120a、第二本質非晶半導體層120b、第一非晶半導體層108、第二非晶半導體層110和透明導電層112的側壁。換句話說,本實施例之非晶氮化矽層122不會填滿第一非晶半導體層108和第二非晶半導體層110間的溝槽(圖未示)。即便如此,非晶氮化矽層122和第二表面106間的界面126附近仍然會具有正電荷累積區127。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了非晶氮化矽層122為順應性覆蓋外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a solar cell according to a tangential line of Fig. 1A-A' according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the main difference between the embodiment of FIG. 3 and the embodiment of FIG. 1 is that the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 of the present embodiment conforms to the first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer. The second surface 106 covered by the 120a and the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b, and the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a, the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b, the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108, and the second amorphous semiconductor layer 110 And a sidewall of the transparent conductive layer 112. In other words, the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 of the present embodiment does not fill the trench (not shown) between the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108 and the second amorphous semiconductor layer 110. Even so, there will still be a positive charge accumulation region 127 near the interface 126 between the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 and the second surface 106. The solar cell 100 of the present embodiment is similar to the above embodiments except that the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 is compliant, and the features, arrangement locations, and material properties of the other components are not described herein.

第4圖是根據本發明又一實施例對應於第1圖A-A’切線所繪示之太陽能電池剖面圖。如第4圖所示,第4圖之實施例與上述第1圖之實施例 主要差異在於,位於第一本質非晶半導體層120a和第二本質非晶半導體層120b間的第二表面106非全部直接接觸非晶氮化矽層122。換句話說,僅部份第二表面106直接接觸非晶氮化矽層122。具體來說,第二表面106和非晶氮化矽層122間會存有間隙(void)128,致使本實施例之正電荷累積區127會略小於上述第1圖實施例之正電荷累積區127。較佳來說,本實施例的非晶氮化矽層122仍會直接接觸部份第一非晶半導體層108和部份第二非晶半導體層110的側壁,但不限定於此。進一步而言,無論間隙128之大小尺寸為何,只要非晶氮化矽層122和第二表面106間具有直接接觸的區域,均屬於本實施例所涵蓋之範圍。本實施例之太陽能電池100除了第二表面106和非晶氮化矽層122間會存有間隙128外,其餘各部件的特徵、設置位置以及材料特性均相似於上述實施例,故在此並不再贅述。 Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a solar cell according to a tangential line of Fig. 1A-A' according to still another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, the embodiment of Fig. 4 and the embodiment of Fig. 1 above The main difference is that the second surface 106 between the first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120a and the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120b is not entirely in direct contact with the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122. In other words, only a portion of the second surface 106 directly contacts the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122. Specifically, a gap 128 exists between the second surface 106 and the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122, so that the positive charge accumulation region 127 of the embodiment is slightly smaller than the positive charge accumulation region of the first FIG. 127. Preferably, the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 of the present embodiment still directly contacts the sidewalls of the portion of the first amorphous semiconductor layer 108 and the portion of the second amorphous semiconductor layer 110, but is not limited thereto. Further, regardless of the size of the gap 128, as long as the area in which the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 and the second surface 106 have direct contact are within the scope of the present embodiment. In addition to the gap 128 between the second surface 106 and the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122, the solar cell 100 of the present embodiment has similar features, arrangement locations, and material properties to the above embodiments, and thus No longer.

為了使本領域通常知識者能實施本發明,下文中將配合圖式,詳細說明本發明太陽能電池之製作方法。 In order to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, the method of making the solar cell of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

第5圖至第8圖是根據本發明一實施例之太陽能電池製作方法。如第5圖所示,首先提供基板102,例如多晶矽基板或是III-V族化合物基板,較佳係為單晶矽N型基板,其具有相對設置之第一表面104和第二表面106。接著,施行化學氣相沉積(chemical vapor deposition,CVD)製程或其他合適製程,分別沉積本質非晶半導體層118、120,例如本質非晶矽層,至第一表面104和第二表面106上。 5 to 8 are views showing a method of fabricating a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, a substrate 102, such as a polycrystalline germanium substrate or a III-V compound substrate, is preferably provided, preferably a single crystal germanium N-type substrate having a first surface 104 and a second surface 106 disposed opposite each other. Next, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process or other suitable process is performed to deposit an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 118, 120, such as an intrinsic amorphous germanium layer, onto the first surface 104 and the second surface 106, respectively.

如第6圖所示,接著利用化學氣相沉積製程或其他合適製程,先在第二表面106上全面沉積P型非晶半導體層109,之後圖案化P型非晶半導體層109。繼以沉積N型非晶半導體層107,以覆蓋住P型非晶半導體層109和本質非晶半導體層120。在此需注意的是,P型非晶半導體層109和N 型非晶半導體層107的沉積順序並非限定於此,其可以根據不同製程需求而加以對調。需注意的是,此實施例係以沉積方式形成P型第二非晶半導體層109以及N型非晶半導體層107,但本發明不限於此。舉例來說,亦可先透過沉積製程於第二表面上形成本質非晶半導體層,之後再對本質非晶半導體層之不同區域施行離子佈植製程,以於相應之區域形成P型非晶半導體層以及N型非晶半導體層。 As shown in FIG. 6, the P-type amorphous semiconductor layer 109 is first entirely deposited on the second surface 106 by a chemical vapor deposition process or other suitable process, and then the P-type amorphous semiconductor layer 109 is patterned. Next, an N-type amorphous semiconductor layer 107 is deposited to cover the P-type amorphous semiconductor layer 109 and the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120. It should be noted here that the P-type amorphous semiconductor layers 109 and N The order of deposition of the amorphous semiconductor layer 107 is not limited thereto, and it may be reversed according to different process requirements. It is to be noted that this embodiment forms the P-type second amorphous semiconductor layer 109 and the N-type amorphous semiconductor layer 107 in a deposition manner, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, an intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer may be formed on the second surface through a deposition process, and then an ion implantation process is performed on different regions of the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer to form a P-type amorphous semiconductor in the corresponding region. A layer and an N-type amorphous semiconductor layer.

之後,平坦化以及圖案化N型非晶半導體層107,並選擇性地在N型非晶半導體層107上沉積透明導電層(圖未示)。接著,可以實施一道或多道蝕刻製程,例如雷射蝕刻、化學浴蝕刻或光微影蝕刻,依序蝕刻透明導電層、P型非晶半導體層109、N型非晶半導體層107以及本質非晶半導體層120,而於本質非晶半導體層120形成溝槽,而製得類似如第7圖所示之結構。如第7圖所示,溝槽129會被設置於第一和第二本質非晶半導體層120a、120b間,致使第一和第二本質非晶半導體層120a、120b會具有如第1圖所示之指叉狀佈局。較佳而言,第一和第二本質非晶半導體層120a、120b的側壁會分別切齊第一和第二非晶半導體層108、110的側壁,但本發明不限於此。 Thereafter, the N-type amorphous semiconductor layer 107 is planarized and patterned, and a transparent conductive layer (not shown) is selectively deposited on the N-type amorphous semiconductor layer 107. Then, one or more etching processes, such as laser etching, chemical bath etching or photolithography etching, may be performed to sequentially etch the transparent conductive layer, the P-type amorphous semiconductor layer 109, the N-type amorphous semiconductor layer 107, and the non-essential The crystalline semiconductor layer 120 is formed into a trench in the intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer 120, and a structure similar to that shown in Fig. 7 is produced. As shown in FIG. 7, the trench 129 is disposed between the first and second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layers 120a, 120b, so that the first and second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layers 120a, 120b have the same pattern as in FIG. The indication is a forked layout. Preferably, the sidewalls of the first and second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layers 120a, 120b respectively align the sidewalls of the first and second amorphous semiconductor layers 108, 110, but the invention is not limited thereto.

如第8圖所示,施行沉積或塗佈製程,以填入氮化矽層122,較佳是非晶氮化矽層,至溝槽129內,致使非晶氮化矽層122會直接接觸第二表面106而形成。需注意的是,為了避免摻質在此製程中受熱擴散,較佳係施行溫度低於200℃之低溫沉積製程以填入非晶氮化矽層122。之後,可選擇性地在第一表面104上沉積抗反射層124。在此需注意的是,抗反射層124之材質可以相同於非晶氮化矽層122之材質,例如是非晶氮化矽,但不限定於此。繼以施行平坦化製程,致使非晶氮化矽層122切齊透明導電層112。最後,利用網印或其他合適之方式,在透明導電層112上形成第一電極114和第二電極116。此時,由於第一和第二電極114、116係分別對應於第一和 第二本質非晶半導體層120a、120b而設置,因此其亦具有如第1圖所示之指叉狀佈局。類似地,在填入非晶氮化矽層122至溝槽129後,於非晶氮化矽層122和第二表面106間之界面126間會自發性地產生正電荷累積區127。 As shown in FIG. 8, a deposition or coating process is performed to fill the tantalum nitride layer 122, preferably an amorphous tantalum nitride layer, into the trench 129, causing the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 to directly contact the first layer. The second surface 106 is formed. It should be noted that in order to prevent the dopant from being thermally diffused in the process, it is preferred to perform a low temperature deposition process at a temperature lower than 200 ° C to fill the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122. Thereafter, an anti-reflective layer 124 can be selectively deposited on the first surface 104. It should be noted that the material of the anti-reflective layer 124 may be the same as the material of the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122, for example, amorphous tantalum nitride, but is not limited thereto. Following the planarization process, the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 is etched into the transparent conductive layer 112. Finally, the first electrode 114 and the second electrode 116 are formed on the transparent conductive layer 112 by screen printing or other suitable means. At this time, since the first and second electrodes 114, 116 are respectively corresponding to the first sum Since the second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layers 120a and 120b are provided, they also have an interdigitated layout as shown in Fig. 1. Similarly, after the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 is filled into the trench 129, a positive charge accumulation region 127 is spontaneously generated between the interface 126 between the amorphous tantalum nitride layer 122 and the second surface 106.

According to the above feature, when carriers of different electrical properties are respectively shifted to the corresponding first intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer or second intrinsic amorphous semiconductor layer, they are not recombined. In addition, the charge in the positive charge accumulation region can repel the holes that drift toward the second surface to prevent the holes from being trapped by the defects on the second surface, which at the same time can reduce the residence time of the holes in the substrate. Therefore, the open circuit voltage of the solar cell can be effectively increased, thereby improving the overall battery output.
